Feature dependencies

Certain features in ArcGIS Server for the Microsoft .NET Framework (ArcGIS Server - GIS Services and Web Applications) require Windows components or other software to be installed. If those requirements are not met, the feature will not be available for installation. Once the necessary prerequisites are installed, dependent features will become visible. If the features are not available due to missing prerequisites, the installation process will complete successfully without installing any unavailable features.

ArcGIS Server for the Microsoft .NET Framework requires Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1. The installation process will not proceed until Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 is installed.

Features with dependencies

Detailed below are features that require Windows components or other software to be installed, as well as the prerequisites needed.

The features below require Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS). Supported IIS versions are 5, 6, and 7.

  • Services Manager feature—GIS Services setup

  • Web Services (SOAP, REST) feature—GIS Services setup

  • Applications Manager—Web Applications setup

Specific IIS components must be installed when performing an installation on Windows Vista/Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008/R2. If these components are not installed, the Web Applications feature will not be available.

  • For installations on Windows Vista and Windows 7, see Vista/Windows 7 IIS requirements for the specific IIS components and instructions for their installation.

Web Application Developer Framework (Web ADF) integration with Visual Studio

The Visual Studio Integration features require Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Service Pack 1 or Microsoft Visual Studio 2010. Supported Visual Studio editions are Visual Studio Standard and Professional and Visual Web Developer Express. The Visual Studio edition(s) installed will determine which Visual Studio integration features are available. For example, if Visual Web Developer Express 2008 Service Pack 1 is installed, the Visual Web Developer Express 2008 integration feature will be available.

See Visual Studio integration for more information.

Unavailable features can be added at a later time by installing the required component, then going to Add/Remove Programs > ArcGIS Server for the Microsoft .NET Framework 10—Web Applications or ArcGIS Server for the Microsoft .NET Framework 10—GIS Services > Change > Modify. The feature that had been unavailable before should now be visible and marked with a red X. Select the feature for installation and follow the on-screen instructions until the installation process has successfully completed. Note: Uninstalling and reinstalling the software is not required.
